to be honest it would be worthwhile replacing it with that much slack
Worth waiting a couple of days and fit a genuine GM one, you won't regret it and you know the job will be a good'un !
Is the main chain OK ?
I reckon so, with a latest spec timing chain kit, balance chain kit and the cylinder head sorted (with new gasket) the car should be good for a few more thousand miles.
Incidentally, are you replacing the cylinder head bolts, as Vx recommend this as they are 'stretch' bolts along with the 4 bolts your mentioned above ?

Nicee one I got it delivered yesterday but only managed to get old chain and crank sprocket off last night before its too dark.
were you using green permanent stud lock ?Hit the post button by accident there damn phone and I cant edit
I thought a couple of bolts would snap cause they were hard to come out, and they were only in about 15min .
So I need to tap the threads so there are not any more problems
What I need to know is the size of tap for the holes is a 5 mm big enough or do I need the 6mm which maybe too big
So if anyone can help with the size that would be good
Or should I mean m5 or m6
